Would it be possible to do a tummy tuck on a person with a large horizontal scar? (photos)

You should be able to obtain a good result from a Fleur De Li  Tummy Tuck approach. Your incision will be up the midline all the way and along the bottom of your abdomen. A lot of vertical and horizontal skin laxity will be removed this way. Be aware that it is a larger operation then a standard Tummy Tuck and you having the previous under the rib scar has to be taken into consideration by your surgeon when planning the procedure. I hope this has helped.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Your midline scar should not interfere with a tummy tuck surgery.  As long as you can obtain medical clearance from your primary physician, then you could safely proceed forward with surgery.     Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Yes, You are a candidate for a fleur de lis tummy tuck. You would have an  incision across your lower abdomen and then vertically removing all of the old scar from your abdomen.
